About
From the sky to the ocean depths, two illusionist dancers find themselves in the middle of a surreal universe and dreamlike adventures as they tumble through clouds and dive into the sea to meet otherworldly creatures.
This poetic coming-of-age story, imagined by Swiss choreographer Philippe Saire, is part dance, part performance art where bodies, faces and props appear and disappear as if by magic.
Hocus Pocus is appropriate for ages seven and up.
